Several new reports point to possible motives for what caused a Connecticut woman to lead police on a car chase that ended in her death on Thursday.

The sources also said Carey had a history of mental health issues. A law enforcement source told CNN that authorities found drugs at Carey’s home used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders.

CBS News reports that Carey was fired from her job as a dental hygienist after she argued with her bosses over a handicapped parking space they felt she didn’t need.
